Probably not wider war in Europe (Russia is truly too weak for that) but yes a drop in Ukraine support meaning a truce w/major territorial concessions. Macron was impulsive here.

This was one of the favorite tactics of southern segregationists governments. It’s why freedom riders buses were bombed and so many organizers were disappeared and murdered. It’s ‘good’ (effective) if the state’s goal is to let civilians do the dirty work of eliminating dissident

Oh my God, I didn't realize this is literally the exact story I told in ONE NATION UNDER GOD. The Fraternal Order of Eagles was instrumental in spreading these Ten Commandments monuments across America in the 1950s ... as part of a promotional tour with the Cecil B. DeMille epic.

The current cowardly establishment take is that the nyc trial of Trump was unserious and the only legitimate things to try Trump for just happen to involve getting past the veto of federalist society stooges who would support a violent overthrow of the government if it meant putting Trump in power.

I think a lot of people, including "elite media," have convinced themselves if you do anything against him, it will be to Trump's benefit somehow. He's a counter-puncher! This has led to a learned helplessness when it comes to Trump and his followers.

It's a legit, inspiring American Revo flag (I say as an active Dem)! This is what happens when Dems cede symbols of national heritage to reactionaries.

I clearly recall a few "restricted communities (not many) in NJ, early 1960s, where by one means or another they wouldn't sell to Jews or blacks. One had a "Restricted" sign displayed.This wasn't specifically illegal yet.

I dunno. I'm a solid Dem, but not Left. Not trying to overturn society, just make it fairer, more inclusive & more united. And...we mixed Americans are the fastest-growing population group! "Loving..." ended artificial relationship segr, and began the new paradigm- on we go!

Mixed part-black American guy here- there's always complexity & past inequality, sure, but I'm a STRONG advocate for ever-greater interracial marriages here in N America & ever-increasing integration. Erode those racial/ethnic silos; 1 nation, 1 united people.

Was previewing the American Exper. episode on the 1970s Boston antibusing protests/riots for class. Always try to maintain academic reserve but it's hard when events were SO violently offensive, of course color film makes it more immediate.

Gore Vidal's 1961 analysis of the evergreen "we're a republic not a democracy" discourse, of which Bannon is the latest to articulate, seems strikingly relevant today: "What the Reactionary really means to say is that the will of the majority as expressed through elections should be circumvented."
